How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my AMCAS, looked at sites like this one

What impressed you positively?

Our tour was given by a resident, who was very nice, and had a dry sense of humor. He had attended UMC and liked it so much that he wanted to stay for residency. Dr. Case was very welcoming and gave a very good overview for the entire day.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers had the option of not reading the file, and neither of mine did. Dr. Case, however, knew mine very well, and grilled me for everything he didn't like (every B, etc.), but he also commended everything that was positive.

What are your general comments?

I was exhausted after the day's events! Each student meets with Dr. Case twice and with two other interviewers (usually an M.D. and a Ph.D.). My M.D. interviewer was very nice, and she answered my questions very openly. The Ph.D. interviewer was harder to read, but he warmed up toward the end and really asked creative questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
